Jacob: Uh, sure. Amy: Can you help me move this couch against this wall? Jacob: Okay, but are you sure you want it over there? Because it’s really heavy and a pain to move. Amy: I’m sure. Let’s move the loveseat across from it. Now, can you move the recliner into the corner? Jacob: Uh! Here? Amy: Umm...a little to the left. Perfect! Jacob: Are you sure? Amy: Absolutely! Okay, the end tables go on each side of the couch, and the coffee table goes between the couch and the loveseat. Jacob: Where do you want the ottoman and where do the lamps go? Amy: Put the ottoman next to the loveseat. The table lamps go on the end tables and the floor lamp should go next to the recliner. Jacob: There’s no room for the rocking chair. Amy: Hmm…I guess the rocking chair can go into the guestroom. Jacob: What about the credenza? Amy: You’re right. This new configuration won’t work. Jacob: You mean you want to put everything back to where it was? Amy: Yup, we’re back to square one! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
